Council authorizes presenting proposed American Legion ball‑field agreement to owners
Summary
Council authorized staff to present a draft agreement to the American Legion that would transfer the American Legion ball fields into the borough parks system, with closing costs to be covered by the borough and funding expected from outside sources and a private donor.
Councilors approved a motion to present a proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review that would allow the borough to purchase and combine the American Legion ball fields with the borough parks system. The agreement, being completed by Solicitor Wachter, envisions the borough covering any closing costs and funding the purchase with outside sources and a private donor. The motion to present the agreement was made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn; the minutes record the motion as carried unanimously.
Minutes do not record a purchase price or a timetable for negotiation; Solicitor Wachter was identified as the person preparing the agreement and the council authorized presenting that draft to the American Legion for their review.
